Ed Perkins, The Average Traveler’s Best Friend

This Sunday on The Travel Guys, Ed Perkins of Smartertravel.com is our featured guest. Ed shares his thoughts on a variety of subjects, including Cancellation Insurance for travel, using credit cards in foreign countries, ridiculous ticket change fees, easier customs clearance overseas (in some countries), frequent flyer awards, when to buy your airline ticket and there’s even an update on those pesky hotel/resort fees we all hate. Ed recently testified at a hearing in DC about those resort fees, so we’ll get some true insider information. It promises to be a lively conversation.

Tom asks Mark what he’s learned on his recent travels to Cape Cod, Mark shares a special experience at Harris Three Stages in Folsom and the guys talk about their trip on the Magic Bus this past week. At the show’s conclusion, Saved The Best For Last features Travelers Darkest, Dirtiest Secrets. Just for fun.
